107.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 2.0 - 3.0.*

Version 4.6.8 fixes a bug where the tool-tip suppression code introduced back in version 4.3 has started to cause problems. Occasionally, Googlebar Lite could cause Firefox menus to stop responding. The problematic code has been removed. A new Polish (pl-PL) localization has also been added.

Version 4.6.4
Released November 25, 2007
100.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

Version 4.6.4 fixes a bug where, in some specific cases, the onLocationChange listener threw uncaught exceptions, causing the forward and back buttons in Firefox to stop functioning. A new Greek localization has also been added.

Version 4.6.3
Released June 27, 2007
97.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

This release features two regression fixes:

+ Bug Fix: An uncaught exception in the new URL parsing logic (added in 4.6.2) was causing the URL bar in Firefox to act incorrectly when a new tab was opened.+ Bug Fix: The new URL parsing was too strict. Because of this, search terms were not being updated appropriately on non-web searches (image searches, group searches, etc.).

Version 4.6
Released January 7, 2007
96.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*

Version 4.3
Released July 30, 2006
84.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 1.0 - 2.0b1

Version 4.3 fixes a number of bugs, including a low-risk security vulnerability. Also note that three locales from version 4.2 are not included with this release: fr-FR, pt-BR, and sv-SE. Hopefully they will be reincluded in a future release.
